CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATION

This application claims priority to and the benefit of Korean PatentApplications No. 10-2021-0004881 filed on Jan. 13, 2021 and No.10-2021-0169385 filed on Nov. 30, 2021, the disclosure of which isincorporated herein by reference in its entirety.

BACKGROUND 1. Field of the Invention

The present disclosure relates to a headwear hanger, and moreparticularly, to a headwear hanger having a headwear-shaped deformationprevention structure.

2. Discussion of Related Art

Headwears are originally intended to protect heads but are also used toblock sunlight and are particularly often used as a part of fashion.Even when a person is not a headwear lover, it is common that everyonehas at least a few headwears.

Since the headwears are bulky because of caps which are parts put on theheads and which have forms that are very different from those of generalclothes, the headwears are difficult to store in a closet or a hangertogether with clothes.

Thus, in general, the headwears are stored while being hung on adedicated hanger.

Meanwhile, an existing general headwear hanger has the inconveniencethat the accommodated headwears fall off when the headwear hanger isshaken even a little due to an external force or during a process ofaccommodating and collecting the headwears.

FIG. 1 illustrates a headwear-dedicated hanger according to the relatedart.

According to the related art, the headwear-dedicated hanger has astructure in which a plurality of hanging hooks are mounted to be spacedapart from each other at regular intervals in a vertical direction sothat a user may see all a plurality of headwears at once.

A fixing member 20 in the form of a clothespin for gripping and fixing abrim of the headwear is used as a unit for fixing the headwear.

However, in the case of the headwear-dedicated hanger illustrated inFIG. 1, a pressure of a predetermined magnitude may be applied by otherclothes or a wall from the outside. In this case, the headwear may becrushed as a crown part H of the headwear is pressed due to the pressureapplied from the outside. When this crushed state is maintained for acertain period or more of time, the outer shape of headwear may bedeformed to the extent that the headwear cannot be restored to anoriginal state thereof.

Further, in the storing of the headwear, an outer surface of theheadwear is exposed to air, and thus dust or foreign substances in theair may be deposited or adsorbed on the outer surface of the headwear.Further, the headwear may be exposed to the sunlight for a long time,and thus the color of the outer surface of the headwear may be changeddue to the sunlight.

Thus, a technology that may solve the above-described problems accordingto the related part is required.

In this case, according to the present embodiment, as the base frame 110and the support frame 120 having a specific structure of which the sizemay be changed are provided, the outer diameter of the base frame 110may be changed by the user, and thus customized hanging for headwearshaving various sizes may be performed.

In some cases, when the headwear is dried while being hung on theheadwear hanger after washing, the size of the headwear is preventedfrom being reduced during the drying, and thus a stable drying processafter the washing may be implemented. As a result, the headwear hangerthat may not only simply hang a headwear but also hang headwears havingvarious sizes and prevent deformation of the headwear during the dryingafter the washing may be provided.

FIG. 10 is a side view illustrating a headwear hanger according to yetanother embodiment of the present disclosure, and FIG. 11 is a plan viewillustrating the headwear hanger illustrated in FIG. 10.

Referring to these drawings, the headwear hanger 100 according to thepresent embodiment may include an ultraviolet irradiation unit 171, arotating blade 172, a hanging state detection unit 173, and a controlunit 174 which perform specific roles.

In detail, as illustrated in FIG. 10, the ultraviolet irradiation unit171 is a component mounted along the outer circumferential surface ofthe support frame 120 and may irradiate an inner space formed by thesupport frame 120 with ultraviolet rays UV-C by operating according to acontrol signal of the control unit 174.

As illustrated in FIGS. 10 and 11, the rotating blade 172 is a componentrotatably mounted on an inner surface of the support frame 120 and mayform air flow in a specific direction in the inner space formed by thesupport frame 120. Further, it is preferable that the rotating blade 172has a structure coated with a light-reflective material so that theultraviolet rays UV-C emitted from the ultraviolet irradiation unit 171are reflected to the inner surface of the headwear hung on the headwearhanger.

As illustrated in FIG. 10, the hanging state detection unit 173 is acomponent mounted in a central portion of the support frame 120 and maydetect that the headwear is hung on the headwear hanger 100 and transmitthe detected data to the control unit 174.

As illustrated in FIGS. 10 and 11, the control unit 174 is a componentmounted on one side of the headwear hanger 100 and may control theoperation of the ultraviolet irradiation unit 171 and the rotating blade172 on the basis of the data acquired from the hanging state detectionunit 173 and an input signal of the user. As illustrated in FIG. 11, thecontrol unit 174 may have a plurality of input buttons and receive asetting value from the user. For example, the plurality of input buttonsmay include a switch for determining whether or not the entire operationis performed, a switch for determining an operation duration time, and aswitch for determining an operation strength, but the present disclosureis not limited thereto.

When the user hangs the headwear on the support frame 120 of theheadwear hanger 100, the hanging state detection unit 173 detects astate in which the headwear is hung and transmits related detection datato the control unit 174. The control unit 174 operates the ultravioletirradiation unit 171 and the rotating blade 172 on the basis of thereceived data.

In this case, the ultraviolet irradiation unit 171 irradiates the innerspace formed by the support frame 120 with the ultraviolet rays UV-C.The ultraviolet rays UV-C of which the range of the wavelength is in therange of 100 nm to 280 nm have an excellent effect on sterilization. Tothis end, the ultraviolet irradiation unit 171 has a structure includinga lamp for emitting the ultraviolet rays UV-C.

The ultraviolet rays emitted from the ultraviolet irradiation unit 171are irradiated to the inner space formed by the support frame 120, andin this case, the ultraviolet rays are reflected on the surface of therotating blade 172 and are reflected to the inner surface of theheadwear. When the rotating blade 172 rotates, the ultraviolet rays aremore evenly irradiated to the inner surface of the headwear, therebymaximizing the sterilization and disinfection effect of the innersurface of the headwear.

Further, when the headwear is hung on the headwear hanger while wet withsweat or liquid (for example, after washing), air present in the innerspace of the headwear may flow due to operation of the rotating blade172, and the drying of the headwear may be promoted. In this case, theheadwear hanger may be provided in which, as the ultraviolet rays areirradiated during a drying process, the growth of bacteria that may becaused by moisture can be fundamentally blocked, and as a result, ahygienic drying process may be performed after the washing, and at thesame time, hygienic management may be performed after use.
